Question Screen flickers and automatically turns off immediately after booting in to Windows ?

[jacob1099]

I have no idea whats going on but one day all of a sudden my screen started flickering and goes black screen, then shuts down. When I turn it back on it boots into Windows exactly where i left it. But now i am unable to even boot into Windows. As soon as I boot it just turns off. Even in BIOS my screen flickers a lot.

I tried installing fresh Windows using the usb media installation but the issues persists.

Please help me I can't afford a new pc (kinda broke rn)

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

List of all connected peripherals.

does it happen with an external monitor connected to HDMI as well?
try without battery connected, only AC adapter

try replacing cmos battery (CR-2032)
might be a faulty GPU or faulty LCD panel or LVDS cable from motherboard to LCD panel

I tried connecting my laptop to an external monitor but the monitor screen doesn't even display anything. The laptop immediately shut down like usual.

is the date and time in bios correct?
if not, replace bios battery (cmos), you will have to open the case to replace it
but with this symptoms it shold be a hardware failure

The date and time in bios is correct and the bios is up to date

A small detail i forgot to add is that in bios the screen just flickers but does shut down. But as soon as windows boots up my pc just shuts off

does it happen using only the main battery and/or while using the ac power adapter without main battery inserted?

This happens with both. Actually i found out that its probably some issues with the lcd backlight as i am able to see the screen with a flashlight. For a fact I am able to view the windows and use it using a flash light. Might have to take it in for a backlight replacement. Thank you for the help tho really appreciate it 🙏 🙌
